Whoa, folks... I was shocked to read this on last week's Desktop page:

  One last project Sifry wanted to plug was ReefKnot. It's a groupware
  calendaring server, a web based platform for doing calendaring. It's
  being put together by a group that includes Dan York, former LPI and
  e-Smith wonderboy.

I have *no* connection whatsoever with Reefknot and have never been 
involved with it in any way shape or form.  However, my colleague here
at e-smith, Kirrily "Skud" Robert has been integrally involved from the
beginning and she is perhaps the connection to e-smith.  I may have
mentioned Reefknot to Dave (Sifry) in the past, but it was in the context
of a project that I knew of people working on, not something I was doing
personally.  My comments to him may have not been clear on that.

I think Reefknot and all of the projects you mention are critical to 
plugging a major hole (calendaring) in Linux offerings, and I wish all
of those projects much success!  But the credit for Reefknot goes entirely to 
Shane Landrum (srl), Kirrily Robert (Skud), Rich Bowen, Martijn van Beers,
and the host of other developers working on the project.

Regards,
Dan
